Abstract
In this section we try to share with you what we have found to be some of the great hurdles in scientific English. There are many things that certainly can go wrong when one is asked to give a lecture in English or whenever one is supposed to communicate in English, and there are specific units to discuss those. This unit is by no means an exhaustive account. After reviewing English grammar usage, we think it is useful to pass our recollection of the commonest mistakes from what we have learnt from our own experience in the fascinating world of scientific English.
